11:31 pm
hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be the headlines. with me are olivia utley — head of pr and deputy leader writer at the sun and the author and broadcasterjohn kampfner. tomorrow's front pages. bit more time starting around this time. we've got more time to discuss. we've got more time to discuss. the times says young people have been urged by the health secretary not to kill yourgran — through spreading coronavirus after an increase in cases that has led to calls for mass testing of students. according the financial times, michel barnier will arrive in london tomorrow with a warning to boris johnson, that if he redraws last year s brexit divorce agreement, talks on a future trade
11:32 pm
deal will collapse. the daily telegraph says borisjohnson will make it clear that the brexit divorce deal is contradictory and must be rewritten to protect the union. meanwhile the guardian says brussels plummeting trust in borisjohnson is laid bare in leaked diplomatic cables obtained by the the paper as the brexit negotiations reopen. according to the ‘i borisjohnson insists he is asserting what it means to be an independent country after late changes to the withdrawal agreement has sparked a row with brussels. the daily mail says up to 3.5 billion pounds of furlough cash has been paid out in error or as a result of fraudulent claims, according to official estimates. the metro reports that price harry and meghan have repaid the £21; million the taxpayer spent renovating frogmore cottage, days after landing a deal with netflix said to be
11:33 pm
worth £112 million. and the daily mirror focuses on the two england footballers who broke covid—19 rules at their base in iceland. so let's begin... you stupid boys. let's start. olivia, do you want to kick off with the times? i don't know how you thought successful matt hancock was in his interviews. especially appealing to the younger generation, the affluent i7 appealing to the younger generation, the affluent 17 to 21 generation that he's describing them as, who may not die of covid—19 themselves but could well kill their grandparents. yeah, ithink but could well kill their grandparents. yeah, i think it's actually a powerful message. in a timely want, as well. i think at the beginning of the pandemic all these sort of, 17 to 20 ones i know were taking it very seriously. they knew that they weren't going to get ill with that themselves or unlikely to get seriously ill themselves but they were worried about their pa rents they were worried about their parents and grandparents with him as the lockdown restrictions at ease,
11:34 pm
fairenough, the lockdown restrictions at ease, fair enough, they've had a horrible summer, they are desperate to see theirfriends. summer, they are desperate to see their friends. socially starved, which i like. they arejust breaking, file and a few of the rules and forgotten that the rules of their bed. i think perhaps this is exactly what they need. a reminder that they will be putting other people in danger. if you are not tuned into the time then, as most 17 to 20 ones aren't, it probably would actually be quite easy to forget that coronavirus is still around for something that sounds mad to us sort of news addicts, but actually, without much of the lockdown restrictions, pubs, open and people walking around inside those sort of not wearing masks. you do kind of forget about it. i think it's more likely that i don't think they are selfish, i think it's more likely that they are just kind of, forgetting. and i think this messaging is quite good and quite strong. i suppose mixed messaging perhaps from number ten
11:35 pm
and the government as well. also, i was interested in one line saying, fresh guidance for universities is due this week from government sources said that the cautions already planned would be sufficient to get students back safely. yeah, i agree with elizabeth, it actually is quite hard. sometimes in some places to remember that the virus is still very much on us. i mean, i live in london and i rememberat very much on us. i mean, i live in london and i remember at the very much on us. i mean, i live in london and i rememberat the height of lockdown april, may, you can cycle through the centre of london or you could walk and literally wouldn't see a soul. you would be startled if you saw a car. and now it's getting back i don't know, half, two thirds, it's already looking quite full. a lot of pubs and shops and restaurants are open again. so you might be lulled into a false sense of security. yes, of course you'd be carrying the virus not be feeling very well and not realise that you've got it and you
11:36 pm
can infect people and most vulnerable people are older people. so it is an important message. but it is incredibly difficult because oi'i it is incredibly difficult because on the one hand the government wants us on the one hand the government wants us to get back to work. they wanted to get back into the office, the start making money and spending money, the furlough is about to come to an end. on the other hand they are saying yes but you got to rememberyou are saying yes but you got to remember you can't do all kinds of things. it's not very hard to reconcile the two but it still takes some effort. i agree that the warning is a good run. on your point about universities pulled up goodness knows what is going to happen in the next one, three or five weeks. young people that big moment, their a—levels were ruined, mayhem starting out at university a lot of it is digital. what happens when a particular university shuts down? they are sent home with their tuition fees, who's gonna repay them, hasa tuition fees, who's gonna repay them, has a go to work with mac there is a real recipe for chaos.
11:37 pm
for mayhem, particularly in the schools and university sector. which are particular he badly run by i believe the most incompetent boarding ministers is gavin well reasoned. which takes us onto the telegraph was up public are too relax about coronavirus was up this warning from the deputy chief medical officer was pretty powerful, wasn't to? he gave the interview to broadcasters today. not six days, six weeks, six months. we got a bumpy time ahead. we definitely have a bumpy time i had. ithink it bumpy time ahead. we definitely have a bumpy time i had. i think it must be so difficult for the government trying to get this push and pull right. on the one hand they do need us right. on the one hand they do need us to get out, do need us to get out again. i think it's too easy, some people are really overcautious and they need to be pushed to spending. and then some people aren't nearly cautious and out. getting this messaging right is just so cautious and out. getting this messaging right isjust so hard cautious and out. getting this messaging right is just so hard for top roughly 50% of the 50% of the
11:38 pm
population that are on the overcautious side that are still worried about leaving their houses and are still seats sticking to the rules which were actually relax months ago. you've got to get them out again and out into their offices. but you've got to make sure that that messaging doesn't go too much to the bone to more risk, happy people. happy people who might take ita people. happy people who might take it a little bit too far. trying to get this blanket restriction right, all different personality types in all different personality types in all different personality types in all different age groups is very ha rd all different age groups is very hard for the government. and we are long past the days of stay at home, save the energise, save lives. we've got to have this messaging which is very difficult to get right. i think this message from the deputy chief medical officer will hit home. and a few people who have been relaxing perhaps too much will buckle up. but yeah, we got up bumpy road and we've got a lot of push and pull messaging
11:39 pm
from the government now to come. stay with the telegraph. if we thought that the pandemic was hogging all the headlines and taking over the news agenda this year, fair 01’ over the news agenda this year, fair or not. brexit is back. we were saying earlier on, who is briefing whom in this? if you're looking at the telegraph it's very different from the person who is briefing the ft. or is itjust the same person find two different kites? it's a classic piece of ——. in terms of negotiation you can't really blame them. everybody knew this would go down to the wire. because all negotiations do. what i suspect the government has either not calculated for or it really doesn't care about is what will happen after. the eu i would put a lot of money that the
11:40 pm
you will not blink ist. they know that in the event of a new deal everyone will suffer. but we will suffer more and also they absolutely do not want to encourage this kind of behavior. again. so how will borisjohnson square of behavior. again. so how will boris johnson square this? of behavior. again. so how will borisjohnson square this? ijust think he is one of those classic populist politicians who loves to hold the agenda and loves rhetoric. and who really struggles with detail to how he is get a read reconcile. after all, as i was saying an hour ago, it was he who signed the withdrawal agreement. this parliament ratified the agreement. so if there are problems with that then why did they talk about it then? olivia, you are close to number ten. who is telling you all about this and what story do we believe? well, i think the two
11:41 pm
stories can quite easily beat reconcile. i think the truth is the withdrawal agreement and i do agree withdrawal agreement and i do agree withjohn, they withdrawal agreement and i do agree with john, they should withdrawal agreement and i do agree withjohn, they should have realises at the top of the average drawl agreement is filled with contradictions when it comes to northern island was up i think boris johnson's was hoping that we would get a deal and that it wouldn't come to this special arrangement with northern ireland was up and out looks like it is coming to the new deal. something has to be done. i think if you look, there is an article that talks about the special relationship between great britain and northern ireland and says that a free—trade deal between great britain and northern ireland has got to be protected at all cost. but then actually, there is the main body of the majority agreement sounds that northern island is going to be nx. i think actually, it's not just a game of marksmanship. it's not flag scientist boris johnson thinking, oh goodness were now in the situation where they are this loopholes. we it is ambiguous. we need to get those cleared up very quickly. the question, i agree with
11:42 pm
john, is why haven't we thought about this a year ago?|j john, is why haven't we thought about this a year ago? i think the answer. . . about this a year ago? i think the answer... everything was up and ready a few months ago. yeah, the problem always was with that and a lot of people settle at time that nothing could be agreed until everything is agreed. it's true, you can't get this agreement in print fleet net principal done before you know what the trade deal is going to be. it never made sense in a way to sort of lift the northern island pa rt sort of lift the northern island part to get out of the free—trade deal. and were always in a run into this. do you mind ifi move on? we haven't got a great deal of time. the guardian brussels collapsing, pm reveals in leaked documents. do they ever trust him because matt also i think is on social media where the macron and johnson spoke earlier today, and it all went extremely well. they know everything about him
11:43 pm
from his days as a brussels correspondent for the telegraph when he used to make up stories about... i'm so sorry it myself not casting his version about his honesty to all political leaders especially ones trying to leave are not having love your, did you take everything at face value? absolutely hammered on social media. they know everything that they need to know. and there is to know about borisjohnson. there is it not a lot of mysteries they know they just is it not a lot of mysteries they know theyjust have to deal with him. they sort of hold their nose and they do that. i think one of the best tweets today and i shouldn't say because its arrival, actually came from channel for news who quotes ted in eu official as talking about britain as a rogue state. in other words this sort of sense that we sort of moved away from the land of the serious and we are just a
11:44 pm
problem that needs to be dealt with. and you can bubble your way through with either a basic deal or no deal. but then in terms of all the important stuff that we are going to need to deal with the european union and with our european partner for years to come, security, foreign affairs, all kinds of things, a lot of that trust will have been eroded. that pragmatic enough to know they've got to work for without us but they're not really gonna trust us but they're not really gonna trust us for some time to come. olivia, onto the mail. all that money that sumac has been paying for the furlough scheme, five to 10% of it could have been taken fraudulently. yes. i'm sort of assuming that that was always built into the furlough model. the thing about it was it had to be got out incredibly quickly froze up we can to be got out incredibly quickly froze up we can go to be got out incredibly quickly froze up we can go through a situation where people, companies we re situation where people, companies were having to sack their workers because they can come to work, the government said it would be tenable
11:45 pm
at all. soon i to develop this programme very quickly. i'm guessing that the treasury knew there was going to be quite a lot. that seemed pretty obvious from the beginning. i hope this is all factored in already. obviously, it's pretty depressing as taxpayers are paying for it. and obviously, will hope that somehow companies will be brought up for making their work is work when they were basically on furlough, etc. ithink work when they were basically on furlough, etc. i think this was a lwa ys furlough, etc. i think this was always known to happen when you roll out a scheme like that so quickly. john, are you disappointed not to have a chance to comment on the royal story the last time. so i squeezed in some extra time for you. for the metro, netflix and bill paid in full. for harry and meghan. i suppose, you'll be pleased that they paid off the renovation cost which seemed quite good value to and half million pounds. i'll be pleased annual be jealous. that at the bbc
11:46 pm
nor is anyone got... i mean they absolutely raking it in now and sure it's fine to pay back the taxpayer money for the renovation of fraud more cottage. but they are trading at notjust on her previous acting career at notjust on her previous acting career but on the whole royal brand. i'm not really clear enough about all the who said what to who on the royal saga. i do have sympathy both with them trying to cast a new more modern version of royalty and they felt they got hounded out. i also understand the extent of people feeling that they have somehow sort of free loaded off the royal brand and are now i can good money off it. olivia, what do you make? nobody knows how much network is paying
11:47 pm
whether it's all in a lump sum are paying a you leave basis or whatever. or per individual program. it said to include a documentary on the princes late mother, princess diana. that would be, a valuable proposition, wouldn't it? for something like netflix to get her son talking about that. especially the terrible events that led to her death. yes. i note netflix is doing its own documentary about diana which is going to be very controversial and i think people we re controversial and i think people were surprised that harry and meghan was signing up for a deal with netflix and. actually heard that harry might be talking to netflix himself about diana. it would in particular he surprised me. i think that will get big viewing figures was upi that will get big viewing figures was up i think that harry and meghan are, have was up i think that harry and meghan a re, have really was up i think that harry and meghan are, have really bought into the hat hollywood lifestyle now. we already know that they are reneging on some of their other commitments perhaps for this netflix deal. we will have to see it all pans out. i think
11:48 pm
their goal now is to make their hollywood lives a success and they'll do whatever that takes i reckon. ending with the guardian, a picture there of a knife victim. the light of our life but alongside that, robots and care homes to reduce loneliness. john, the robots have cost more than the annual salary of a care worker at the moment. so maybe not a threat yet to them. yeah i was watching marquis students report earlier interviewing peppe" students report earlier interviewing pepper one of the robots. the instinct is to think it's a bit of a gimmick. 0rto feel instinct is to think it's a bit of a gimmick. or to feel sorry tell lead not terribly scared that artificial intelligence is going to take over ca re intelligence is going to take over care working and the emotional side of things. but there may well be and
11:49 pm
i think it's still very unsophisticated, much more development needs to be done for them it may well be some sort menial, semi medial information tasks. sort, your own care home alexa type service. go off and make mea cup alexa type service. go off and make me a cup of tea. could it be quite frightening, olivia is well? if you are having a senior moment and you woke up and suddenly find yourself talking to pepper? sorry i wasjust distracted because john talking to pepper? sorry i wasjust distracted becausejohn set off my you know what in the background. yes, exactly. ithought you know what in the background. yes, exactly. i thought that interview with pepper was that it was on the way. because they talk about robots very good listeners. but there is this guy talking about what his family went through in world war ii. and it seems sad that there is no one to actually listen and to pass on those stories to other generations. and that will die with the robot. it does seem a bit
11:50 pm
sad to me. i think maybe the answer yes, there could be some menial tasks and that could be helpful for understaffed care workers. i think maybe the answer is to put a bit more money and time and energy into performing arts care sector. so many governments have been talking about doing exactly over the last few yea rs was doing exactly over the last few years was up i'm really sorry, we are ata years was up i'm really sorry, we are at a time. lovely to have you both on again. for taking us through our second look of the papers. hello, i'm sarah mulkkerins and this is sport today, live from the bbc sport centre. coming up on this programme... varying degrees of success. scotland went to two to one against a make

actions against both players. nothing has happened in the areas that we occupy in the hotel. we are still getting to the depths of all the information because as i said, this was only brought to my attention a couple of hours before training. they have been naive. we have dealt with it appropriately. i think everything from there on our recognise their age but of course the whole world are dealing with this pandemic and there is responsibility on every age group to make sure that they play their part in keeping edge others say. u nfortu nately for in keeping edge others say. unfortunately for the two boys they are going to find themselves in a situation because of where we are across the globe with the pandemic. where there is going to be a lot of judgement of them from afar. so it's not for me to make that more difficult for them. in response club manchester city have said that his actions were totally inappropriate.
